GPU Fit Matrix
Can the RTX A6000 (used) run Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B (free)?
Yes, but tight — only at FP4
Planning estimate: Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B (free) (30B total / 3B active) needs about17.5 GB of VRAM at FP4(≈4K context). The RTX A6000 (used) has48 GB.
This is a computed planning estimate (parameter count × bytes/parameter × quantization + context overhead), not a measured benchmark. See how we estimate.
VRAM needed by quantization
| Quantization | Est. VRAM needed | Fits 48GB? |
|---|---|---|
| FP4 | 17.5 GB | ✅ Yes |
No measured benchmark yet. We don't publish invented tokens/sec — when we have a first-party measured run for this pairing, it will appear here. For now this page is a VRAM planning estimate. Model the exact case in ourVRAM calculator.
